Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read.
I bought my Bip back in February and it has been a joy to use. About 3 weeks ago I opened the MiFit app and it said as it often did that there was a new firmware and proceeded to run an update. It had done this many times before without a problem. This time however when returning to the watch it said "Connect to APP to update". I tried connecting it to the app but each time I pressed tick on the watch the phone gave an error that the connection was refused. I checked the Amazfit support pages and followed the suggestions of rebooting the phone, forgetting the watch in the app and then in the bluetooth settings on the phone but the problem still persists. I tried it on the wife's iphone to rule out my handset but got the same error. The watch is not visible in the bluetooth settings of the phone.
Video of problem: /drive.google.com/file/d/11ftktWFmqf4dFrWyyg9fMEOrCNhr3kEn/view?usp=sharing
Since then I have tried on an Android phone and got a bit further. With Android I can pair through bluetooth but when running the MiFit app I get an error that the connection fails when trying to pair up the watch. I then installed the "Notify and Fitness" app which does see the watch however on attempting to update the firmware or resources it fails at 98-99%. When using the tests in the app I can get the watch to run a heart rate test and vibrate. Also if I flash with a chinese res file then the language of the error also changes.
I have tried using the two alternative methods of update, new and old firmware but to no avail. I have also tried doing this without the MiFit ap installed and firmware updates through gadget bridge.
One last thing to try is for the battery to run down and restart the thing but I am still a week at least away from 0% and Have been trying to fix it for a fortnight
Do any of teh gurus of XDA have any tips or suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks in advance!
Any solution in 2019 using iphone?
Hello.
Did you solve this problem?
I found solutions but they were wrote more than a year ago...
And all of them used android phones to install new (now old) firmwares, but I only can use my iphone...

I let it run down helped along by repeated vibration tests but eventually after about 3 weeks the thing ran out of juice. Charged it and started it back up and it booted up fine, it has been fine since! great little watch but really needs a hard reset button.
Good luck

I just updated my phone T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 to the new LG v10
Love this phone, really sleek and beautiful.
Problem is I cannot get my Moto 360 1st gen to connect.
Ive paired the two devices and no problems there, but the two will not connect. The blu-tooth shows the watch on my phone, but will never connect. Ive gone thru several sites that give you the basics to troubleshoot, including reset the Moto 360 to factory specs which I have done several times.
The two pair perfectly, but will not connect. If I go to the blu-tooth settings on the watch, I don't see my LG v10 anymore, it just searches and never finds. I have to completely un-pair and reset to pair again and again no connection.
I have paired the Moto 360 with several devices and I know its working perfectly, the only change is this phone.
The phone is connected to my Car Stereo and it works perfectly there, so I know the blu-tooth does work there.
Anybody else having issues with Android Wear, or similar?
Thanks
I have the T-Mobile V10 and I paired my 360. I had issues after the initial pairing like you described but after rebooting the phone it has been working constantly.
I had to factory reset my watch twice
It connect fine here with my Moto 360 first gen (and my Jabra Rox headphones).
Same here...before I upgraded to the v10...my note 5 and gold moto360 out of nowhere just stopped connecting...I had to reset a few times to get it together.maybe after a certain while all Android wears have to be factory reset at some point...hopefully an update will fix what's going on
Have tried resetting several times and nothing. It's as if the phone only sees the watch long enough to pair, but won't connect.
Thank you all, I finally figured it out. I was trying to sync thru the Bluetooth option. You have to sync thru the android wear app.
What I did was reset the watch, this time I had my wear app open and waiting. When the watch asks to sync, the app kicks in. I've had my watch so long, I forgot how the proper way of doing it.
Speaking of which...has anybody had issues replying or sending messages and or asking ok Google with the moto 360

I haven't had any issues yet, but one thing I do notice is the messages app doesn't turn on the Moto 360 like my Note 4 did
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA Premium HD app
How's the 360 holding up for you guys? Is on sale on the play store and I'm tempted to get it
Anyone figure this out yet? I just picked up the v10 and have the same issues
Like others have said, I had to reset my watch to be able to get it to connect. Just like starting over.
I've had to factory reset my watch every time I wanted to pair with a new device.

Its good and all,battery life is absolutely horrid though.
I have an LGv20 and a moto 360 sport and had the same issue everyone has described. I reset the watch endless times. The way you need to do this is as follows. Unpair the watch from the phone. This will do the factory reset. On your phone, open the Android wear APP. Have the APP set to discover your watch. It's the very first step you have when opening the app. The watch is now ready to connect to your phone. Essentially you are pairing your phone and watch through the Android Wear app. The mistake I was making was pairing the watch and phone from the phones Bluetooth area. Big mistake. I am happily paired to my phone now. It took 2 days of frustration to finally find this posting.

I have a new V20 and I was having the exact same problem... This fixed my issue IMMEDIATELY! Thank you so much for your help
Hi all!
Im sorry if its already been posted but I didnt see it. I, regretfully, followed the prompt to update to 2.0. Its awful and ruined my watch!! NO longer can I get notifications (ive checked the settings, uninstalled android wear and reinstalled, toggled bluetooth, connected and disconnected from the watch, master reset the watch, and powercycled both.). 2.0 is complete garbage!!! any ideas on how to roll it back to the 1.2 OS??? THank you in advance for all your help and im sorry if its already been answered!!
Thank you!!
No there isn't
Sent from my m1 note using Tapatalk
are a lot of other people having this issue of notifications?
found any solution?
unfortunately here is the same mate did u find any solution?
well yes actually.
Do a disconnect and reset.
Forget the watch in the phone wear app.
Go through the reconnect procedure, BUT disable mobile data and get ready to disable the wifi on your phone.......
When the watch says "searching for updates" during the re-pairing procedure TURN THAT WIFI OFF on your phone so it cannot get to the updates.
Once the watch is setup, go to the settings on the play store of your watch and turn off auto updates.
Turn the data back on on your phone. You will have to update the play services on the watch for your apps to work, BUT you don't have to update from Android wear to Wear OS, and you can keep the stock look and feel!!

Hi there
I am struggling to pair the Amazfit Pace with my iphone. I scan the QR Code and get an Error Message that says I need to unpair the device from bluetooth. The problem is, it's not in the bluetooth list for me to unpair it. I tried other devices including an iPhone 5... same error issue. I reset my iPhone, I removed Amazfit App from the storage of my iPhone.
What is this error? What do I need to do? Is this an Amazfit App issue?
I cannot get past the QR Code screen to see or do anything more than drive myself crazy going to the bluetooth setting to remove the device, knowing full well, it's not in the list.
any help? Or is this a junk smart watch?
The watch is new? If yes, probably you must first update the firmware using and Android phone with Android 7.1 or older, or use a Huami tool to install at lest firmware 1.3.8. If it's not brand new, probably it was paired with another account, then you must first unpair it properly from that account...
Edit: if you haven't done it yet, restarting the watch a couple of times may help too.
Hello,
My Amazfit Bip is bricked on that "Connect APP to update" screen.
With MiFit, my smartwatch is never recognized.
With GadgetBridge, I connect to the smartwatch without any problem.
The smartwatch seems to "work" : I can ask GadgetBridge to have it vibrate, I can get activity etc.
With "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit", I have successfully flashed firmware 1.1.5.16 + GPS + RES (the screen changes to the firmware update screen). However, at the end, it does not reboot and remains stuck on the same Connect APP to update screen. The menu "reboot" or "factory reset" of GadgetBridge does not do anything.
Can someone please help unbrick it?
I would gladly try a more recent English firmware, but I haven't been able to find one. Links on 4pda.ru were down. I downloaded and unzipped a few Mi Fit apk, but they don't seem to have the Mili_chaohu files... etc
Thanks
Give this a try - use N & F to load a custom watchface (it doesn't matter which one).
This fixed my BIP in a similar situation.
Regards,
Eric
Solved after the battery drained

Thanks, Eric, I had tried that, but it didn't work. It stayed on the same screen.
However, I solved the issue this morning, because at last the watch ran out of battery (lol ! the battery life is so good I nearly waited 2 months!). So, it was "dead", and then I charged it again, paired it with N & F, and suddenly MiFit took grasp of it, uploaded A-GPS, firmware and resources and after a while the smartwatch is back to life

Hi,
Its only been 5 days that i am using my new amazfit GTR 2 watch connected with Oneplus 7pro.
Since yesterday just this is showing on the watch (see attached file)
I just dont understand what to do..
I have tried uninstalling the app.. didnt help. Disconnecting reconnecting via Bluetooth did not help soft reset did not help. Cant hard reset the watch since its showing just this arrow..
Update starts V5.2.11.1 but when it starts it ends after saying UPDATE CANCELLED. MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONNECTED WITH THE APP.
JUST CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO
See if this thread helps.
